One way that you can assist your Albuquerque Social Security attorney is by keeping track of your medical expenses and records as you prepare for your disability hearing. Your lawyer may give you the following pointers.
Request Bills
Albuquerque NM Social Security lawyers can explain that the easiest way to keep track of ongoing expenses and records is to ask for a copy of the paperwork at each doctor visit. This includes keeping receipts for appointments at doctors’ offices, hospitals, physical therapists and other medical facilities. If you have health insurance, ask for copies of your medical visits from your health insurance company. Your lawyer may need to submit a request for a release of medical records on your behalf.
Save Prescription Bills
Save receipts and documents pertaining to each medicine that you are prescribed. Create a chart that includes the dates when you were prescribed the medications, the amount it cost for the medication and any side effects that you suffered from the medication.
Create a Chart for Medical Visits
Create a chart that details each visit that you made leading up to your diagnosis of a disability and each visit afterwards. Include copies of medical reports, notes and other records that encompass the purpose of each visit. Organize this information and present it to your lawyer when you meet with him or her.
